30+ Pounds for $120

[Silburned]

Have a seller with 30+ pounds of Lego with some instructions and no minifigures willing to sell for $120.

 

Deal or No Deal?  

 

From the pictures it looks to be mid to late 90's sets.

Offer $80 then meet in the middle. Assuming it's all Lego and is close to 30 pounds you should do alright even if you sell by weight on eBay. I wouldn't risk more than $100 on it though.

That would be a good idea. The one thing I don't like about this lot is that there are no minifigures. Sometimes, the minifigures cost a lot when you are trying to complete certain sets.

Yep, knowing the mini figs aren't there I would go in expecting to sell by weight. I would only try to build sets out of it if there was something really good hiding in there. Even then I would most likely sell it without the figures instead of buying them on Bricklink or eBay.

I have to agree. Sometimes, it's not worth it to buy the minifigures and then sell it. Other times, it is worth the extra $5 on minifigures to get $20 more when you are selling a set. I have run into both situations, and you have to look at what other sets sold for with and without minifigures.

Definitely make sure that they are all lego not megabloks.

If a lot doesn't have mini figs I'd pass unless it was a great deal. Good luck in your decision and purchase!

80 bucks would be a decent price. In a massive over-generalization, late 90s sets have a lot of big specialty pieces and as sets aren't as popular as those before and after (eg. Black Falcons  vs Fright Nights or  Town Jr. vs City ). Roll of the dice, really.

No minifigs?  It better have a lot of interesting pieces/colors.

Yeah.... can you imagine sitting on this http://www.ebay.com/itm/291194435709 , knowing that majority of the minifigs are not there?

Ended up passing.  As some of you said the parts weren't all that great.  A large portion was Bionicle which I am not too savvy with.  I still have plenty of bulk to go through and I don't need to add more time to my already exhausted 'free time'.

On another note.  The bulk I am going through has a 99% complete 6383.  Last time I had one of these it sold for $150 on eBay.  Need the instructions which are running $20 on BL.

I think that that is a good choice considering that there were a lot of Bionicles in the lot. Those sell anywhere between $5-$20 in my experience, and it is a pain to identify what you have, and sometimes, isn't worth it in the end to make $50 off Bionicles alone.
